Any use of Copy/Paste to create perfectly overlapped links is a jackhammer in my opinion. However, overlapping things by hand to create a dark-ish solution is legal.
The way to tell the difference between the two is to watch the pre-simulation step when overlaps are resolved. If multiple links remain perfectly overlapped after the true simulation begins: it is a jackhammer. If the program moves and stretches the links in an attempt to separate them BEFORE the simulation starts: it is allowed.
Here are two examples that use overlapping to create force. The one on the left is allowed. The one on the right is banned.
